Scars & Acne Scars

What Is Scars & Acne Scars?

Scars form as skin repairs injury. Acne may produce rolling, boxcar, ice-pick, raised, red, or pigmented scars, and different scar types respond to different treatments.

How Is It Evaluated?

Assessment identifies scar type, depth, skin tone, active acne, healing history, and the realistic degree of improvement possible.

What Treatment Options Are Available?

Options may include microneedling, RF microplasma, chemical peels, laser or light treatment, skincare, or referral for techniques not offered in the practice.

Can acne scars be completely removed?

Most scars can be improved but not erased. Combining methods and completing a treatment series often produces better results than a single procedure.

Elizabeth’s Approach

I identify scar type and active acne first, then set realistic expectations because improvement usually comes from a series, not one aggressive session. Explore scar and skin-rejuvenation care and related options.

Aftercare and Next Steps

Follow the procedure-specific cleansing, moisturizing, and sun-protection plan. Do not pick flaking skin or crusts. Contact the clinic for infection signs, blistering, severe pain, or unexpected pigment change.
